DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION! So disappointed. Spent over $80 for a bland, wilted sad meal for my family. The restaurant was absolutely filthy. I cleaned our table myself with baby wipes as there was dried food and sticky sauces all over it. The staff is miserable and beyond rude. The people who work there seem so angry it makes you wonder what is going on with the management? No forks available, all tables filled with old dishes. It's shocking how bad it is. It felt like going to lunch at the DMV. This place needs a major overhaul in all areas. This is the worse Veggie Grill I've ever been to. It's so weird to me as other locations people are friendly, the food is fresher, and the place is clean. I hate giving anything vegan a bad review but this was just beyond bad. This place needs help! read more

Hey what's up yelpers? Hope my review finds you well. The following review of Veggie Grill is broken up into different categories: food, environment, service, price and overall thoughts. Food: Wanting to get a healthier choice in food I decided to come to Veggie Grill. Here I purchased The VG Classic, Santa Fe Chickin' and Bowl of Moroccan Lentil Soup. The VG Classic includes a "beyond burger, american cheese, special sauce, lettuce, tomato, and red onion on a brioche bun served with a side of spicy cherry pepper relish| sub house veggie or tempeh patty--no charge". I could definitely taste the difference between a beef burger and veggie one but enjoy very much the veggie one. I did take out the onions- not a fan. The crispy chickin' included "romaine lettuce, sliced tomato, pickled onion, mashed avocado, chipotle mayo on a soft wheat roll". It was a decent chicken sandwich, nothing crazy. I did like the avocado and chipotle as it helped with the taste of the overall sandwich. Lastly got lentil soup which was okay. I've had lentil a hand full a times and it's something I wouldn't go out my way to order but my brother said it tasted good. So if your weird like my brother you'll like it. I'm kidding. (4 stars) Environment: This Veggie Grill is located in Pasadena in the South Lake business sector. Tons of restaurants down the street. Plenty of on street paid meter parking as well as a parking lot behind the restaurant. The place has tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly for the patio outside. The area is clean and safe. (4 stars) Service: The staff was friendly and attentive. They opened another register to make sure the line went down fast. The wait time for my food was not long at all. And they were knowledgeable about their menu when I did have questions. (4 stars) Price: I understand that veggie patties are usually expensive at grocery stores for a few patties so the price made sense but maybe I'm just old school and think it was still high for being a burger. The VG Classic is 9.95, the Santa Fe Chickin' was 8.95 and the lentil soup was 4.95. (4 stars) Overall Thoughts: I enjoyed eating healthy and believe this is a good spot to choice from. I am excited to try other healthy options on their menu. Thank you Veggie Grill for tasty veggie sandwiches. Thank you yelpers for reading, until next time. Peace and Love! read more

I was around the Pasadena area and I know they have good vegan restaurants so I went to go check out veggie grill. I would think the food is great since they have so many great reviews. But unfortunately I came in during their busy hour. I received my food 30mins after ordering. It's a 25min drive back home for me and when I opened my food my sweet potato fries were soggy. My bowl was not cooked right. The quinoa was hard and after I was done eating, my stomach started to feel upset. I think my food was cooked rush since I heard one of the employers say to a customer that they are back up on orders. At least one of them gave me a free meal voucher since I was waiting so long. But it's no used since it's a 19mile drive for me :/ read more

I've had terrible experiences at Veggie Grills in other areas, this is bar far the best service I have had with this company. I never order big, usually a few apps and I'm good to go, the music is always good, service is quick and friendly. Great go to spot for fast friendly service and great food. read more

My co worker and I always order from here through DoorDash always delicious just would be. Nice if they brought back the Brussels sprouts

A month ago, I ordered Veggie Grill via Postmates and ordered their VG Beyond burger, carrot cake, & crispy fries. Considering I had delivery, dinner wasn't bad. In fact, a friend and I split it. The fries nor burger were soggy, and the carrot cake was the tits. The burger patty was firm, had good flavor, but it still didn't hit the spot for the best vegan patty I've ever had (still forever searching). However, it's pretty close to the consistency of an actual all beef patty. Close, but not perfect. The fries were indeed crispy. It's a small order of fries so if you decide to split meals, I'd consider ordering an extra side of crispy fries. As for the cake, it exceeded my expectations; absolutely delicious. It was firm, the frosting was perfect, the cake was moist, and the size was shareable. I could smell the coconut oil used; it complimented the cake well. I'm not sure about dining at this location, but ordering Veggie Grill through Postmates was a great experience! read more

Vegan fast food done well. Veggie Grill's menu is incredibly extensive--offering salads, sandwiches, burritos, burgers, and bowls that have various ethnic flavor influences, and more. As the name clearly implies, Veggie Grill is all about the veggies. All of their "meats" are plant/soy-based, and are all really good for being substitutes for the real thing. Their burgers are well executed and flavorful. And while they don't exactly replace real burgers, they are a solid choice for a healthier take. A seasonal favorite is the Far East Bowl that consists of a brown rice base layer, sesame-crusted "chicken," papaya salad, broccoli, green curry, and sweet chili sauce. The curry is extremely well flavored with a nice kick to it, and the sesame-crusted protein is texturally diverse and interesting, and tastes delicious. Love all the different components of this bowl and highly recommend for a satisfying lunch. I do wonder how healthy this place really is though... because while they emphasize the importance of veggies, it still is a fast food chain and how much of the proteins/ingredients are actually processed? read more

The food prep area is visible so it's apparent that no food or service staff wear masks as they yap and spittle on the food. Yeah, Covid is still the number 1 cause of death in USA USA USA. Because we have our freedumb there are no precautions in place. Stupid. read more

Service and quality of food are usually great here. But I had a negative experience today. I showed up 5 minutes after my pick up time and was told by a team member my food was not ready. Pick up is usually on time but it's not a big deal. I then waited about 20 minutes -- which I was again okay with since they seemed busy for the dinner rush. But then the team member that initially checked my food checked the shelf again for a bag thats been sitting there since before I got there and found my food was sitting there the whole time and called my name. This was fine also because mistakes happen. I made a casual comment saying oh no it's there the whole time. He then looks at me straight and say no it just came out. What? I don't mind honest mistakes but this boldface lying is very insulting and disappointing. This is definitely not how you treat a loyal customer. I just touched the food and told him this is cold it's been sitting here as he walked away. Way to ruin a usually positive place for me with your inability to take responsible for a simple mistake read more

I needed to kill time so I walked around Lake Avenue to see what's new in the area. A new location of Veggie Grill at the corner of Cordova and Lake had a line about 10 deep and I walked by to check it out. The hostess outside mentioned that the event is for VIP only, however, lucky me, invited me in. I've always been curious to try Veggie Grill but most locations are on the other side of town. I'm not a vegetarian nor do I care to be one but have been told by others, that dishes here pass enough to be like chicken. To my surprise upon ordering, the meal was comped! They allowed me try an entree, side dish and drink. I tried the Santa Fe Chrispy Chickin (soy) which was pretty decent. Taste similar to that of processed chicken like a giant McNugget patty. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, spicy mayo. With that, it came with Yukon Gold fries. Not bad but I wish it was piping hot. I chose crispy cauliflower as my side dish and they sold it as tasting like Panda Express orange chicken. Honestly, it did sort of. Actually, only the sauce portion. Crispy cauliflower is fried in panko breading. Not bad but pricey for $5.95. I don't think I'd pay for this side if I had to choose again. The have a an assortment of mixed flavor lemonades and teas which are pretty good and not too sweet. Service here was friendly and the manager was accomdating. I'd probably come back to try other things. Vegetarian food isn't cheap. Though the meal was comped, it would of been a shade under 20 bucks. read more

I've been really trying to incorporate meat substitutes and giving them a chance just so I can live a healthier lifestyle. I will say that some that I've tried at any restaurant have been a hit or miss for me. We had ordered: 1. Crispy Portobello (under the snack portion of the menu): This was one of the best things we had ordered. It was nicely fried and topped with spices and parsley served with your choice of ranch or roasted red pepper dipping sauce. I highly recommend getting this! 2. Tres "Fish" Tacos: Each taco was filled with cabbage, crispy "fish", original Baja sauce (in which there were hardly any), a strand of cilantro with tomato salad (as they call it), mashed avocado, lots of lettuce and slices of lime all on the side. The "fish" had a very weird consistency and I don't expect it to be like fish at all, but it was very grainy in texture and bland in taste. Even though they served very little of it to the point where it was nonexistent in my three tacos, that was fine with me because I didn't even like the "fish" anyway. There really wasn't enough sauce offered on the side of the plate and so my tacos were quite boring and disappointing. 3. "Crab" Cake Sandwich: This was more like a burger but it wasn't that bad. It came with some basic condiments you'd get in a sandwich/burger with your choice of side. We ended up getting the cole slaw and it was really good. The cole slaw wasn't water-y nor was it under-dressed, if that makes sense and the raisins added a nice touch. 4. Strawberry Lemonade & Pomegranate Iced Tea - I'm glad the drinks weren't watered down and I especially liked the strawberry lemonade as it wasn't too sour nor sweet. Veggie Grill also has entree salads and plenty of sides that are quite appealing. Overall, I'm not interested in coming back unless I wanted a healthier lunch. However, I wouldn't mind dropping by for crispy portobellos and a strawberry lemonade if I happen to pass by, though! read more

After Yelp's Fit Club: SoulCycle: Pasadena event ended, Mandi T. and I went here to get some grub. I wasn't really hungry, but decided to keep Mandi T. company. I am one bad modah... I ended up ordering something! :( Parking: I would like to echo the same sendiments as other yelpers by saying parking is bad. Either try surface streets, residential, or other plaza's that you can park for free. Ambiance/Decor: Ambiance is really chill. Great place to catch up with your family and friends. Decor is really nice with modern furnishings. I only been to one veggie grill (Irvine) and can tell it's much bigger than the Irvine location. Service: Not much to write home about. Place order. Get a seat. Staffers give you your food. End of service. I did like this one cashier/staffer. She actually told it how it is. +++++++++++ CONVERSATION Me to Mandi T: I'm surprized I'm actually eating healthy today. Server chimes in: I usually tell people this place is not the healthiest place compared to others and I like to word it as "Healthy Calories" you are getting out of the food here." Me: Inside my head I was like "Whoaaaa.... I never heard someone say that before". You are awesome sauce girlie! +++++++++++++ Food: I recommend the crispy cauliflower! Had enough seaoning and wasn't heavily battered. The orange sesame sauce comes on the side. It was excellent and meshed well with the Cauliflower. Try to limit your intake on the sauces. They are a bit on the sweet side. If you want to get some soup, I would recommend the Lentil. Very good and not salty. A+ in my book! Do more awesome Veggie Grill! :) read more

I wish there was a Veggie Grill on every block! I can't believe I've never stepped foot into one until recently. First off, if you think this is just Veggies, it's not. Well...it IS, but it definitely doesn't feel like it! I haven't had many items from here, but I can pretty much eat a Bombay Bowl from this place everyday for the rest of my life. That, and the Crispy Cauliflower! The Bombay Bowl's portion is the perfect size for an individual and the Crispy Cauliflower (although it's a small appetizer to share) I can eat a whole order on my own. Haha! The curry sauce and all the ingredients in the BB made this bowl a favorite of mine. The sauce for the CC was also delicious! The CC was also fried just right...and it didn't feel too greasy for me! I also ordered the Quinoa Power Salad. This wasn't as flavorful as the BB, but it definitely tasted good and very healthy (if that's a flavor). I'm definitely a fan of this place! It's a chain that I have absolutely fallen in love with! It's clean, friendly, and healthy. Can't wait to come back! read more

Man I wish Veggie Grill would step up their game. Just ate at Pasadena location. Pros: there was plenty of seating! Cons: service sucked. Women working seemed annoyed by having to take order.

When I was a kid, my dad was an acquaintance of Bill Pearl, 4 time Mr. Universe. I remember thinking, even as a kid, that it was strange he was so big for a guy that didn't eat meat. Yep, Bill Pearl was arguably the first ovolacto vegetarian professional bodybuilder. A great guy, and worth looking up online. Proudly vegetarian... Which is why to some degree, I've struggled with vegetarian cuisine that pretends to be meat. I guess I don't get it-- in an almost self-deprecating way, these restaurants process and form plants, herbs, and spices, into somewhat reasonable facsimiles of edible meat products, then give it some smarmy name like Chickin' or Tofurkey. While I can see how this might appeal to former carnivores who long, self-loathingly, for their animal consumption days, it just seems like one big practical joke, and you're the punchline. Instead, if you're ready to dedicate yourself to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, why not eat those soybeans and whole grains the way the Great Programmer intended them? Why mold them into the shape of a pork sparerib, awakening the shadow of your former cooked flesh-lust, only to have a vague and fleeting memory that succulent pork and fermented mung bean croquets don't even taste like each other accidentally? Alas, Veggie Grill pulls this idiocy on part of their menu. They offer crab cakes and grilled chicken and other faux-flesh menu items, along with some good salads, sides, grains, and vegetable offerings. I opted for the quinoa salad-- no jello molded Chickin' drumstick for me. I'm a staunch meat eater, have spent a lifetime meaningfully-harvesting finned, feathered, and fur-bearing creatures from Nature for consumption, and don't apologize for any of it. But El Gigante Picante does not live by meat alone (except when I'm avoiding carbs), and a nice big pile of veggies or whole grains or legumes or fruit is a critical part of my diet too. The quinoa salad was delicious-- if I had to pick on it, maybe a little heavy on the oil... But a balanced, healthy, and diverse salad. I would gladly return to this restaurant to try their other salads and grain-based sides... But I won't insult myself or others eating a meat pun like Not Dogs and Not-cho Cheese... For me, eating at a vegetarian restaurant like Veggie Grill is not an expression of religious freedom or a political statement about the methane plight wrought upon humanity by flatulent cattle. I don't hear the haunting voice of Sarah McLachlan's "Arms of an Angel" every time I eat an In N Out burger or grill a teriyaki yellowtail collar on my patio or hard boil eggs. Veggie Grill is a clean, affordable, and pretty unpretentious place to buy a healthy, light meal. I recommend it to anyone who likes eating from all four food groups; moreover, I encourage you enlightened Vegans among us to take it easy on us Neanderthals with scarlet tendrils of blood running from the corners of our mouths... You don't have to save us from ourselves-- just save me a seat at the table, and order me an iced tea. read more

After trying Veggie Grill for the first time in Costa Mesa, I am hooked (on phonics). The Bombay Bowl ($8.95) is literally bombay. A mix of steamed kale, almonds, beans, supergrains, roasted veggies with coconut green curry sauce. YES YES & YES. It's the best feeling in the world when you do not feel disguisting after devouring a meal. There are several summer items on special right now. I am dying to try the Sonoran Summer Bowl!!! Guess i'll have to come back soon ;) Ample booth and table seating space. Friendly and quick service! SUPER tiny private lot that will fit about 5 cars only. Otherwise, park in the plaza space. First 2 hours is free. Back entrance door is slightly hidden, but it's there! read more

**I'm not vegan or a vegetarian I came to Veggie Grill on a Friday afternoon and there was a pretty good amount of customers. Workers were super friendly and nice. I love chicken so I decided to get the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich. It came with a small side. I chose lentil soup! The sandwich was pretty good. It came with a good portion of guac on it. Since I knew it wasn't meat, I was a bit skeptical. It was good, but I knew it was some type of tofu. I also wanted to try the buffalo chicken so I decided to go with the wrap since it was a cheaper alternative. It was REALLY good. I recommend it over sandwich. My cousin got the cheeseburger and mac and cheese. Cheeseburger was too smokey in our opinion. Too much liquid smoke I'm assuming? Not sure but we didn't like it. The texture was there though, tasted like a normal burger patty despite the smokey flavor. The mac and cheese was pretty bad.. we each ate one macaroni and were done with it. Didn't taste like anything you'd imagine... Parking is 50/50. Big lot in the back but during lunch time can get super packed. Overall, I MIGHT come back to try something on the menu but for now, I think I can live without it. read more

I do not live near a Veggie Grill, so whenever I visit a city with a VG, I get as much as I can. At this Pasadena location, I had the following: HARICOTS VERTS - French green beans with sea salt and a lemon tahini sauce. This is on their summer menu. If you like green beans, you should try this dish. It was very good, and I loved the flavor of the sea salt and the tahini on the green beans, which were cooked well, but still had a bit of crisp to them. CHICKEN TACOS - You get three tacos. I wanted to get 1 chicken + 2 fish, but they wouldn't allow this, even though the price is the same for both, so... Why not? Anyway, the chicken tacos were flavorful, but I'd enjoy some regular salsa, instead of the chunks-of-tomato salsa. GOLD YUKON FRIES - delicious, crisp, fresh, perfectly seasoned french fries! When VG first opened they only had sweet potato fries, so when they started selling regular fries... O' happy day! CHARGRILLED STREET CORN - I love corn, and another location seasoned the corn SO well that when I got my corn at this location I immediately noticed the lack of seasoning. I even showed the staff the picture of the corn from the Encino location and their only response was that it shouldn't have been made that way. Well, THAT way was awesome. This location? Not so much. They offered no suggestion or attempt to rectify it either. I ended up putting some salt and pepper on it to save it from its blandness. Aside from the corn snafu (which cost them a star), everything was great. I still love the VG chain. There is a shared parking lot, and if I remember correctly, the first 2 hours are free. read more

I typically eat extremely unhealthy (my regulars are Chick-Fil-A, Raising Canes, Baby Bros Pizza, etc) so it's always nice to find new places that serve much healthier options. Pasadena serves a ton of more healthy (but pricey) options - I'm glad I came across Veggie Grill! It's located on Lake Ave with many other restaurants that share the same big lot - but keep in mind it can get difficult to find a spot during peak times. I said earlier that I don't eat healthy food very often, so when I walked in it took me forever to decide what to get. But then I noticed that they serve the Beyond Burger and I had to have it! I've made it a point to order the burger at any place that I can, just to see how different places put their twist on it. Veggie Grill is probably the best one that I've had! If you've never had a Beyond Burger, prepare to have your mind blown. The burger is actually really juicy and the patty even bleeds, which is really really strange. But, the taste is really, really good. Although definitely a little pricey, it's worth it to me. Whenever I want to feel a little less guilty about eating a burger, Veggie Grill is the place I'll be! read more

**update** the manager Brianna is super friendly and generous. Our food came out not right. We mentioned that to staff, and she came over and made the change for us. She checked in with every table just to make sure every customer is happy. We are very pleased by their services and food. I always love to go to Veggie grill for fast vegan food. They are not actual fast food but close enough, for me. Their crispy chicken plate with a side of steam kale is the bomb. Crispy cauliflower was pretty good as well. Their buffalo wings were made with crispy chicken strip and buffalo sauce. I personally prefer Sage's buffalo cauliflowers which makes me feel "healthier." If I want something spicy, this is a must! Seasonal corn on the cob was very delicious. Most of my family and friends love it. read more

They changed the whole menu, got rid of all the good stuff, put a bunch of weird stuff, and I'll probably never go back. They had the best Kale Ceasar salad... gone. Their tostada salad doesn't come with a crispy tostada anymore, just a goop of beans and weird tasting ground "beef".and a sweet nasty dressing I couldn't stomach. Everything lost its flavor. Why don't restaurants know if it ain't broke don't fix it!!!! Used to be one of my favorites now it's all downhill with a small terrible menu. They don't even have CROUTONS! i got stale bread cut in squares! read more

This place was pretty busy even on a late Saturday night at 10pm. They have gluten free and vegan options. I wish they had more gluten free options though. All the dishes I wanted that looked amazing had gluten in it. Either way, there was a menu item that was a hit before and came back on the menu apparently and it was the Banh Mi Salad. It was gluten free and it was so good! They charred the organic tofu as it it were a piece of BBQ pork! I give them an A+ for that. Their flavor is amazing. I've been to two other Veggie grill locations and I think this location is my favorite. :) They even have gluten free desserts like cookies and/or brownies. I always appreciate that they use Meyer's soap in their bathrooms instead of some industrial chemical-laden soap that's bad for your skin and even your body once absorbed. I also appreciate that they're available. I always appreciate vegan and gluten free places. Thanks Veggie grill! :) read more

I've bookmarked Veggie Grill for awhile now and heard they recently opened a location in Pasadena. Great, closer to me! I made a trip for dinner here on a Sunday night. Not too busy, but moderately. There were three of us. While one order (Santa Fe Chickin') came out, it took a good 15 mins before we had to wave someone down to check on the rest of the orders. For someone with food on the table, waiting 15 mins for their friends to get their plates to eat, is not easy. The Santa Fe Chickin' sandwich (fried or grilled) are very tasty. You can't tell it's not real meat. A popular ordered dish. The tea drinks they have are delicious and so refreshing. I had the All hail Kale salad with Tempah. I really enjoyed my kale and quinoa salad with the dressing they had. It was very fresh and light. The tempeh, however, was weird in texture, grainy and dry. I didn't like how it was with my salad. I'd like to give Veggie Grill another try. Next time I'll order something hot, and their nachos. It looked so good. read more

Out of the blue I was craving a veggie burger the other night. I am not a vegetarian but I don't eat red meat. We decided to have dinner here and I'm so glad we did. Even my boyfriend who loves regular burgers really liked it. We had the suggested and most popular signature veggie burger and fries and a drink. The fries were incredible. The burger was very delicious. The ketchup they have is organic and is amazing. Taste like real tomato sauce. The pineapple water they have is delicious!!! I can't wait to come back.

First time here, won't be my last. I ordered the Santa Fe chicken sandwich and it was huge and fulfilling and literally tasted like chicken , BUT ITS NOT. It even looks like it. I also had the buffalo chicken strips and it is delish. 10/10 would recommend because props for this place making imitation meat out of tofu I BELIEVE, And also their sauces I heard it's vegan/vegetarian friendly . When you come in there are menus on the side and you order in the front and they give you a number and you sit and they serve you your food. Service is standard and nice. I'm not even vegetarian , my friend is but I am making this one of my go to healthy place option to come to when I feel in the slumps. read more

Another try at a vegan place, for my very meat-loving self. Maybe a carnivore can be fooled? Ample parking in the back, counter service food with sit-down eatery area, this place resembles Lemonade and Tender Greens. I got their Seoul Bowl (Veggie Steak a spicy super grain rice) with a side of Blackened "Chicken". The veggie meat was very good and satisfied my need for protein. Can't say I liked it as much as the real meat, but since my arteries are happier, it offset the slightly worse flavor. We also tried the Buffalo wings (decent, but nothing special) and their sweet potato fries (very good, and lightly fried only) that had a great dipping sauce with chipotle ranch. My gf got the Korean Tacos, which she really enjoyed, but the spice was just a bit too much for me (I handle around the Sriracha level). Overall surprisingly good. Wish this place took vegan to another level, but at least a solid place to go to that would make any meat lover satisfied. read more

Came here for a late lunch after picking up my friend from the airport. She was cravings for a salad and suggested this place. I have been wanting to put some greens into my life, so it was a perfect pick. My friend ended up ordering the All Hail Kale and I ordered the Savory Kale Caesar. I love Caesar salad, so I knew it would be a winner. My Caesar came with marinated Kale, romaine lettuces, chopped tempeh bacon, avocado, and croutons. I didn't like tempeh bacon too much. I really did enjoy the rest of my salad. I also took a bite of my friend salad and it was good too. Her dressings on the salad were really good. Its about 10 bucks per salad. Parking was easy cause they share a parking lot with other businesses. This place was more of an order at the front and they bring you your order. The rest you get yourself. This place serves some fingers food if you're not too hungry. They also serve salads, salad bowls, tacos, sandwiches, drinks, and desserts. Overall, a good place to get your weekly healthy kick in. read more
